Although Google is the ally of Samsung in the world of smartphones, things are not so pink in the Smart TV space. The two companies stand and try to dethrone by constantly improving their products and incorporating features from each other to offer users a first -rate visualization experience. Tizen TV OS from Samsung offers optimal image quality with unrivaled performance and speed Powered by a 64 -bit processor. Android TV OS is not to be outdone. It prioritizes deep level personalization and unlimited access to thousands of applications on Google Play Store.
Little separates both, but I think that the opposite as someone who used Tizen OS in my living room and an Android TV in my home office for more than two years. Although I can use my Samsung Smart TV without many problems, the South Korean technology giant can take note of some exclusive Android features.

Developed by Samsung, the Tizen OS is designed to work smoothly and offer a transparent experience on the Samsung Smart TV platform. Although it works well in the Samsung ecosystem, its integration with other brands is often limited. The wide range of company televisions is mainly compatible with Samsung equipment, limiting options if you prefer an accessory or a device from another brand. For example, although you can connect a fire stick or a roku via an HDMI port to a Tizen supplied TV, some applications do not work well because they are not designed for the Tizen platform. This can cause problems such as minimized features and slow loading times.
Meanwhile, benefiting from the widely used Android ecosystem, Google’s Android TV TV has a large hardware compatibility and works transparently with most devices. You will find Android there, whether intelligent TV brands such as Hissense, TCL or Sony or autonomous streaming platforms like Google TV, Chromecast or Nvidia Shield TV. You can choose equipment or accessory that is suitable for your price and your needs.
The expansion of Tizen’s compatibility with other consumer electronics will make it versatile and competitive in the intelligent television industry.

Some are very immersive, with advanced game commands and high quality images. In addition, Android TV has a functionality known as Google Play Games which allows you to follow your progress in certain games.

The game mode function is optimized for the big screen with higher image frequencies and minimized latency for new generation titles. Imagine Tizen adding more games combined with the 4K UHD screen on my 50DU7170. The sky will only be the lower limit of the brand in the play space.

Tizen OS works well in the Samsung ecosystem to complete Samsung smart televisions. Integration includes features such as Samsung SmartThings, which allows you to control various domestic devices from a Smart TV, and Bixby, a voice assistant that works with Samsung devices.

Android and Tizen OS have attractive user interfaces but with different features. Tizen OS is easy to use with large icons, making it the essential option for people looking for an intuitive and rationalized experience. Its Smart Hub function organizes applications and content sources in a convincing lower bar for easy access.
Android TV goes further with the personalization and flexibility of the in -depth interface, such as the installation of third -party launchers. The interface is similar to what is available on the mobile version and can be familiar to Android users. You can add widgets from your favorite applications, organize applications and install various launchers to modify the sensation and appearance of the screen. For example, I customized the home screen of my Android TV with shortcuts to my favorite applications like Spotify and deleted those that I do not often use. I also reorganized the channel lines to prioritize the content of my most used applications, which makes the location of what I want without seam.

Although the number of applications in the Tizen App Store has developed considerably, it is less extensive than what Android TV offers in terms of variety and range. You will find heavy strikers like YouTube, Hulu and Netflix, as well as certain productivity games and tools specific to Samsung on Tizen. However, the general selection is limited. In addition, some, like Apple TV and Netflix, are preloaded, and you cannot uninstall them.
Android TV offers a wide selection of games, utilities and streaming services thanks to its integration with the Google Play Store. This means that you can find any application you need, including popular like HBO Max, Disney +, Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. In addition, for those participating in mobile games, the number of titles optimized for the screen on Android is significant.
If Samsung widens its application and play offers, it will give users more entertainment options, making the operating system more versatile. Until then, I will use my Android phone for games when I am in the living room.
Use Netflix’s moments feature on Android TV to share your favorite clips with friends from the application.
Tizen OS could learn one or two Android TV things
Although the two technology giants are equal with regard to entertainment on the screen, the Tizen OS of Samsung could borrow many features from Android TV OS from Google. Access to the easier application, deep level personalization and improved compatibility will upgrade Tizen OS from a competent platform to a friendly and dynamic gem.
